Christi and Kelly are going back through the archive, re-editing, and re-uploading our old episodes — in order, from the very beginning of Dance Moms. This week, they’re revisiting Dance Moms season 1, episode 7 (“She’s A Fighter”), where Holly reaches one of her first major breaking points with Abby over Nia’s solo. The moment starts when Abby gives Nia an animal-print costume for “They Call Me Laquifa” and then asks if Holly has an afro wig... and that's where things start getting uncomfortable. Christi and Kelly look back on Holly’s reaction, the lunch conversation that followed, and why this was about much more than one costume piece. They also revisit the hallway confrontation after Nia performs, where Holly tells Abby that Nia is a dancer first — not an ethnicity first. Between the “let me pull one out of my purse” comment, Abby defending the routine as an “ethnic opportunity,” and Holly finally calling out how Nia was being portrayed, this becomes one of the earliest moments where Holly truly stands her ground. We originally aired this episode back in 2022, but it's been re-edited specifically for YouTube! Grab your tickets to our LIVE TOUR here: x1entertainment.com/bttb See you in 2026!!
